Question poss bent axle?

the guy i bought my wagon off told me that he had clobbered a kerb quite hard,the wheel has a slight wobble but i think its more than a twisted alloy,i dont know how the rear suspension/axle set up is put together so if the axle is bent will i have to change the whole lot or can i remove the rear hub assembly independantly

I would put money on bent hub, and strut. They are not very strong, an impact large enough to bend a wheel wont do them any favours...................
